Bookmarks to older trains.com pages invalid
Posted by galaxy on Saturday, October 23, 2010 7:30 AM

Hi

I have AOL with a very good bookmark system called "favorite places" where on can name folders by subject and "store" them {the links} on AOL.

I recently tried to access a bunch of saved links to MRR threads I had "bookmarked" and only get a message from trains.com that "that page is no longer available or has moved" OR get a generic computer "error" page. This is since the upgrade.

I found it frustrating when I went to search for a link to info someone wanted that was in an older thread readily available but not any more.

Just thought y'all might want to know your older bookmarks for this site may have "disappeared" in to the electronic mist.

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

If you made notes about the "Favorite Places" on AOL, you should be able to search for them on the new forum. That's what I had to do with another browser. I've since updated my links and saved them to my bookmarks. I know that's not much of a help, but it is a way of restoring your links.

Well, for the number I have saved, It would take a lot of time to try and refind those bookmarked threads and reinstall them to new bookmarks.

Maybe that is what I will have to do though {groan}  Bang Head

This is the one thing I am not happy about the new upgrade.
